Spiritual Life

ICCS
has as its core the Catholic ideal of raising a child with reverence
for the mystery of creation and for its Creator. Worship is an
important part of each week. While our students represent a variety of faith traditions, all attend Mass with their
learning communities (elementary, middle, and high school) each week;
appropriate to their ages, they assume ministerial functions, such as
altar servers, lectors, greeters, liturgical musicians, and ministers of
the Eucharist. Each school day begins with prayer. Middle and high
school students attend annual class retreats; at the high school level,
students are the retreat leaders. One goal of our 12-year program
is that students become progressively more active in worship leadership
roles.

All
students receive daily religious instruction. Parents of all faith
traditions have come to respect the many ways in which ICCS has brought
their daughters and sons to a deeper understanding of their own
religious traditions as well as the Catholic Church’s teachings.
